OK, OK already
Just post the name of the upload you did and we will find it for you.
It needs fuel and air and it is probably not running out of air, but could be.
Remove the air filter cover and start it. If it dies again then put the filter
cover back on and find the problem with insufficiant fuel.

Don't try this at home!
EDIT: If your Injection pump is not getting fuel, and you run the engine on an alternative fuel source like this, you will likely destroy your hydraulic head, because it is lubricated by fuel.
Video of it running on "alternative fuel supply".

Pull an injector out of the engine, connect to fuel, GET OUT OF THE WAY, crank, see how far it shoots.

Same way you did last two times you did I reckon. Copy and paste the link...
You're living up to your nickname a little too much and we're running out of patience. Re-read my post. I posted how far the injectors should shoot before in the thread too.

Trial by fire lots of reading and help from jeepsinker. I was determined to get that thing running and I worked on it non stop til I did. Then I was gonna rebuild the whole truck until I stumbled on my nice ‘70 for a song.
My only concern in hindsight was galling up the IP, but it did have fuel running through it. I guess I’m missing stuff you’re seeing, or I’m not so worried about. It was a coolant sprayer with, ahem, gasoline. Risky I guess. Turned out my button had fallen off. That’s when I learned that he plunger doesn’t just need to move, it needs to move more like 3/8” than 1/8”.
Yeah I'm not a very good mechanic at all. But I'm doing what you guys suggest but it keeps acting the same way. I was told to prime the air in order to flush any trapped air. We do this on our track hole and works like a charm bit I think it's a different issue. I'm sorry for running your patience thin.

Pull one of the injectors out of the engine. With it out, re-connect it to the fuel line. Make sure it is pointed in a safe direction, the pressure can penetrate the skin. Then crank the engine. It should shoot 3-4 feet. The injectors have a tiny hole and a spring holding back the pressure from the hydraulic head. The pressure has to overcome the spring and that's what makes it shoot out in a fine, high pressure "mist". If it doesn't shoot, we have an idea what to look at next.
